No Clubbin' to be Found

Typically, I tend to shy away from the idea of night clubbing. I don't know why I am thinking about this idea, but I think it was the result of staying in one of those amazing Hotel breaks Scotland last weekend. Yet, even in my youth, I often decided to spend my time in small little venues, rather than those with loud music and teens dancing to the wee hours of the morning.

Bungee Scotland

To be honest, when my husband proposed the idea of bungee jumping on our most recent vacation to Scotland, I was less than impressed. I had been enjoying my relaxing evening at our Short breaks Scotland hotel when he approached me with such an idea.

Cost Rican Music

Everywhere you visit in Latin America, you will notice something which, if you have ever travelled around Africa will note that both regions have in common. Music is an integral part of their cultures. In Africa people celebrate, grieve, protest and prepare for war with the aid of music. You sense that in South America music is as important and Costa Rica is no exception.
